Over forty sat down to luncheon in Memorial Hall at 1 o'clock. The space occupied by four tables had been cleared, and one large table in tae shape of an open square was prepared. Besides the regular delegates there were about fif- teen invited guests, among whom were J. D. White '07 and W. Clark 2L., president of the Harvard Dining Association...
...Kennard out as forwards, it became evident that it would be much easier to find linemen than men for the back-field. Captain Foster played at left half until he sprained his ankle about three weeks ago.

Captain Foster leads the eleven well, is a hard line plunger, and the best defensive man on the team. Wendell, who played right half last year against Yale, was moved, in the middle of the season, from...

The future eleven was beginning to take shape about this time, when Forbes was moved from tackle to end, and Hockenberger was proving his worth as a centre.

Brown also was a difficult opponent and held Yale down to one hard fought touchdown...
After the signal practice the whole squad, including Kersburg, ran about a mile on the beach in front of the club house. Kersburg's leg is much improved and will probably be in fairly good shape on Saturday. He was in signal practice for half an hour, being then replaced by Gilmore. Captain Foster played through the entire practice. The line-up for signal practice was as follows: FIRST ELEVEN. SUBSTITUTES. MacDonald, l.e. r.e., Orr Osborne, l.t. r.t., Tucker Burr, l.g. r.g., Gilmore Parker, c. c., Fraser Kersburg, Gilmore, r.g. l.g., Brock Peirce, r.t. l.t., Hoan Starr, r.e. l.e., Bird...
